Pros:
1. Being an oil – this product really helps to heal cracked, dry heels from within. It moisturizes and heals from within so after the first few days – it need not be applied daily. Once every 2-3 days is good enough to maintain feet skin.
2. It absorbs pretty quickly for an oil & doesn’t stain sheets (I generally apply this just before going to bed). It is light & non-greasy
3. Completely natural product – with the exception of preservatives – this is completely natural. No added fragrances or propylene gycols here.
4. Fully listed ingredient listing – unlike a lot of herbal lines that conceal ingredients by mentioning only the key ones or some unknown base – this product has the full product listing with %s
5. Just a few drops are needed - like 2-3 drops for each foot.

Cons:
1. This is oil – so even though it absorbs fast – it takes a minute for it to sink in.
2. Smells like an ayurvedic product – don’t get me wrong it doesn’t smell bad – but it also doesn’t have any fragrances added to it – so don’t expect it to smell floral & all. It smells a little woodsy & spicy. Initially I hated it, have gotten used to it now.
Will I repurchase: Yes. It does really work fast on dry feet skin without being greasy or heavy. Plus the healing is from within – not temporary. After a long time, I have used something on my feet that seems to really moisturize & soften them from within. I like the fact that my feet didn't become dependent on it - after a week of daily usage I am now using this just once in 2-3 days & my feet haven't gotten any worse.
Product sent by Company / PR for consideration – but that has not affected my opinion of this product in any way.

How effective is this for really really badly cracked feet? How long before you see the effects?

@Bhumika: :)
@Swati - I have updated the post with locations where it is available. Hope that helps.
@m.273: I have listed the stores in Mumbai :)
@Nivedita: It is a nice prdt :)
@CS: I don't think this retails in Chennai yet..
@CZ: I generally don't use oils on my feet for the fear of slipping coz of greasiness, but they more effective than creams :)
@Retnu: I hope he likes it
@Ana K: Yea, it is a good buy for winters
@Speaking Chic: My feet got softer & better within just 3-4 days of daily use. But I don't have like really bad cracked feet - mines suffer more from dryness.
@Prachi: No babes, this is yet to be launched in Delhi :(
@Anamika: I think it should be ok - the oil itself is not thick - it is kind of similar to FE Sesame oil in consistency - so I guess it should be ok.. :)
ReplyDeleteI love holistic/natural beauty products lately, so I'd definitely want to give this a try. I hope to visit Mumbai soon :) The last time I was there was when I was 3-4...almost 20 years ago :O
